Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dynamic recording of the respiratory, metabolic and/or ventilatory quantities during, a process or influence conducive to lactate production, having a data processing facility incorporating a display unit and also a computing unit, and having a device such as a mask connected via an analysis instrument to the data processing facility for determination of the respiratory minute volume and also of the O 2 content and CO 2 content of the respiratory minute volume of the inhaled or exhaled air.
  • the invention further relates to a method for reproducible assessment of the physical capacity of a living organism such as a human being during a process or influence conducive to lactate production by determination of the "individual anaerobic threshold".
  • the "individual anaerobic threshold” (Lactate Kinetics and Individual Anaerobic Threshold, Stegmann et al. International Journal of Sports Medicine, S. 160-165, Georg, Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, 1981) is a fixed and clearly reproducible value. This "individual anaerobic threshold” is also of importance for physiological parameters such as assessment of the physical capacity, blood pressure under load and coronary heart disease.
  • the "individual anaerobic threshold" is obtained by determining the lactate, i.e. the lactic acid in the blood.
  • the change in the proportion of lactic acid in the blood is determined as a function of the work performed per unit of time.
  • breathing equivalent O 2 ##EQU1## and the breathing equivalent CO 2 ##EQU2## where the ventilation parameters are determined by a device of the above type, are plotted over time.
  • the "anaerobic threshold” was defined as the point in which a steep rise of the breathing equivalent O 2 is registered without the curve for the breathing equivalent CO 2 rising.
  • it is still necessary to ascertain the lactate in the blood of the person under strain H. A. Davis and G. C. Gass: The anaerobic threshold as determined before and during lactic acidosis, European Journal of Applied Physiology, Springer-Verlag 1981).
  • the problem underlying the present invention is to permit the determination of the individual anaerobic threshold of a human being without having to continually determine the lactate by taking blood samples. It should be possible to determine the individual anaerobic threshold with high precision.
  • CO 2 saturation SAT (CO 2 ) is proportional to the square of the partial pressure of CO 2 p (CO 2 ) and the O 2 saturation SAT (O 2 ) is linear to the partial pressure O 2 p (O 2 ).
  • CO 2 saturation SAT (CO 2 ) is proportional to the square of the partial pressure of CO 2 p (CO 2 ) and the O 2 saturation SAT (O 2 ) is linear to the partial pressure O 2 p (O 2 ).
  • the ascertained respiratory minute volumes and their O 2 and CO 2 contents are correlated, in order to obtain on the basis of the equation ##EQU6## a value x (as the breathing equivalent for gas pressure) which--at its minimum or final rise, or mathematically speaking at a point at which the time derivation dx(t)/dt is zero or has a maximum discontinuity--gives or defines a load value PIAT (Point of Individual Anaerobic Threshold) corresponding to the individual anaerobic threshold.
  • a value x (as the breathing equivalent for gas pressure) which--at its minimum or final rise, or mathematically speaking at a point at which the time derivation dx(t)/dt is zero or has a maximum discontinuity--gives or defines a load value PIAT (Point of Individual Anaerobic Threshold) corresponding to the individual anaerobic threshold.
  • the determination of the change in parameters can take place here as a function of a gradual increase in the activity of test person. It is of course also possible that a continuous increase in performance is observed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a test array for determination of the individual anaerobic threshold
  • FIG. 2 shows a graph for determination of the individual anaerobic threshold
  • FIG. 3 shows a plurality of graphs for determination of the individual anaerobic thresholds under differing types of load.
  • the latter To ascertain the individual anaerobic threshold of a test person, the latter must perform work over a period of time. Parallel to this, the respiratory minute volume Ve and the CO 2 and O 2 contents of the test person are determined.
  • a bicycle ergometer 10 or alternatively for example a treadmill (12) can be used.
  • the appropriate devices (10) or (12) are connected via cables (14) and (16) to a data processing facility (18) in order to ascertain the work performed per unit of time.
  • test person is fitted with a mask (20) or mouthpiece shown purely schematically in FIG. 1.
  • the air inhaled by the test person and the O 2 and CO 2 contents present in the exhaled air are determined using an analysis instrument (22) in order to then pass the values to the data processing facility (18) via cables (24) and (26).
  • the value x is then determined on the basis of ##EQU8## and plotted over time or performance to obtain the measuring points shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the point in the curve in which the time derivation is 0 or has a maximum discontinuity corresponds to a load value PIAT corresponding to the individual anaerobic threshold.
